Is there an index of local blogs somewhere?

I'm trying to find (and evaluate) blogs in my area, but searching for them via google has been pretty tedious so far. Does anyone know of a website where I can locate blogs in my area? For example, ideally, I'd like to go to something like www.blogfinder.com, type in Tampa and get a list of all the blogs dedicated to this area. Anyone know of anything like that?

Back in the mid-2000s, I knew of 4-5 sites like this. I haven't thought of this in a bit and when I went to look for them, most of them no longer exist. Outside.in still seems to exist, but I'm trying city and state searches in it (which used to work) and am coming up with 404 errors. You might try playing around with it a bit, though. Actually, it looks like the site may have been taken over by http://patch.com/

I also know of this network of bloggers located in the South (http://southernblogsociety.com/) but I believe the topics are confined to lifestyle blogging, so I'm not sure if that's relevant to your industry.
